A Celebration for Pi Lover


Ever heard of Pi Day before? As surprising as its sound, yes, the mathematical constant π (pi) has its own day (and a holiday at that). This unique celebration day fall on March 14th (or 3/14 in month/day format) every year, because 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits in the decimal form of pi (π). Pi Day was created by Larry Shaw in 1989. This first Pi Day celebration was held at the San Francisco Exploratorium. The staff of the Exploratorium and public marched around one of its circular spaces the consuming fruit pie. Since that day, every year, the Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebration.

Then on March 12, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution, recognizing March 14, 2009, as National Pi day.

Those who would love to join this unique celebration might confuse as to how we celebrate the Pi Day. Well, just like any other celebration, you can celebrate Pi Day by creating some Pi ambience, wear Pi shirt, Pi jewelry, change you computer screen saver to anything that Pi, use Pi mug, or create fun activity that would make people remember about the Pi, like eating fruit pie (pi and pie being homophones), play pi games and make strange mathematical endeavors. No matter what activities you choose to celebrate Pi Day, this unique celebration certainly a good way to spend the day with you family and friends.
